Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as well
as relieving the burden of homo manufac-
turers. Especially is this the case with
Green's August Flower" and "Boschee's
German SyIup," as the reduction of thir-
ty-six cents per dozen, has been added to
increase the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-ffth
more medicine in the rs cents size. The
August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, and the German Syrup" for
Cough and Lung troubles have, perhaps,
the largest sale of any medicines in the
world. The advantage of increased size
of the bottles will be greatly appreciated
by the sick and afflicted, IN every town
and village in civilized countries. Sam.
pie bottles for ten 10) cents remain tn,
same size.

that is much commented upon in that

Judge Blackman has rendered bis

has perpetuated the injunction and de.
clared the late election null and void
The decision will be found elsewhere
in to-day's issue of the Review. 1t is

He thinks that the proviso to Act lO4,
which required the submission of the
question of tax at the same time with
vote on the removal, is unconstitution.
al, and that its unconstitutionality de-
stroys the whole act, as in his opinion
it was the initial of the legislature that
said proviso should he submitted to
the people, otherwise the act wonld
not have been passed. The premises
in the opinion seem to us to he at
manifest variance with the conclusion.
We fail to apprehend the reasoning on
the intent of the act. Legislative in
tent is not a matter of inference or
opinion, bnt is clearl Y and exclusively
deducible from the title to an act, 9th
erwise we would grope in the dark and
be left to conjecture for snch intent.
We bail the decision with pleasure as
it is number one of the two remaining
acts in the closing drama Of the Court
House question. The curtain will rise
again when the Supreme Court meets
in Opelousas in July. The fate of
Act lO4 will then be decided. What
that fate will be, time will determine.
Whatever it be, we trust it will be re-
ceived without bitterness by the van
pushed. AS for us, We wish final
decision in the matter, be that decis-
ion what it may Marksville Review.

IA DECISION of wide interest to tray
elers was rendered. by the Massachusetts,
Supreme Court few days ago. When
passengers are robbed at night in sleep
ing car the Court holds that the sleeping
car company is liable for the loss. 'The
company" says Chief Justice Morton,
''holds itself out to the world as furnish
ing safe and comfortable cars, and when
1t sells ticket it implicitly stipulates to
do so. 1t is its duty to use reasonable
means to guard the passengers against
theft; and if through want of care the
personal effects of a passenger, such as he
might reasonably carry with him, are
stolen, the company is liable. Such a
rule is required by public policy and by
the interests of both the passenger and
the company."-TEx.

reached as to what their report would be,
although majority of the members pre-

thrill of joy and enthusiasm to ever,
true Democrat, every true son of Lou

son of Ouacbita. While we do no,
know whether he will be a candidate
or not, yet we feel it but our duty to
land his name. There are other names
mentioned for the honorable position
whose character is unimpeachable.-
The just and pure Moncure, the famed
and honest Nichols, the honest and
fearless; yet we can but stand for
Sam McEnery. In the dark DAYS of
ZIG, he was the leader of our recon
struction, and at every crisis he was
our help and adviser. True his name
is linked with some who are consid-
erod of disrepute, yet we dare say he
stands aloof of anything small or dir
ty. He is ours and we should be his.
His name, though terrible to his foes,
yet welcome to his friends, shall be
rememberedwith the warmest emotious
of gratitude by those whom he has
contributed to make happy, and by
all mankind when Packards, War
moths, Kelloggs and Pinchbacks are
sunk in their minted oblivion. Let

highest point being about fourteen feet
above the mean sea level. To II casual

this insignificant rise, but it is mat
ter of record that it new er has done it.
The city covers the western end of the
key, and it was. previous to the great
fire of March 80, 1886. very densely
settled, and about rs un-American
looking as could well be imagined,
bearing q strong resemblance to West
India town. The houses are of wood
and quite plainly built. There are,
| think, only four or five brick buildings,
and certainly not more than six. The
streets are of very good width, tolcra-
bly, straight and passably clean. The
roadway is of coral rock. There is no
soil to speak Of; what passes for soil is
triturated coral, very rich in phOs-
pilates and making an excellent fcrtili'
ger. but by itself delic ent in fat. To
garden one must use pick rather than
hoe. Very few vegetables are grown
here. and vegetation is confined mainly
to cocOanut trees. Here and there
can be seen pine or an Alexander, oil
star OF India or royal poncana, 4;
few mulberry and prickly ash trees an,
popenack bushes. Flowers and flower
